Update on project

A month ago I queried this group about how best to approach a problem of lifting a 330 lb block of concrete and getting it onto a dock and then into the water.  With your help and suggestions I purchased a pickup truck lift that will do the dock work. Today I completed the lift for the parking lot to place the block on a small trailer to drive it down to the dock using my 312-8.  Here is the original thread (Winch vs battery capacity - Tools and Equipment - RedSquare Wheel Horse Forum) and below is a photo of the tripod lifting the block and placing it on the small trailer.

A few more photos of the top bracket.  It is made of three pieces of 2" square tubing with one side cut off to create U's  Each piece is 4" long and welded together at a sixty degree angle from each other.  A 3/8 x 2.5" bolt secures the legs to the bracket and a 1/2 x 6" eyebolt is suspended from the top.  And please ignore my backyard welding job.  Joints are welded both inside and out.
